An Euro trip on the road,
looking for
enduring experiences , empowering
encounters
and adventure

- SHARING is my journey’s key word
- ON THE ROAD, my car will be the means of transport, in solo or sharing part of the route with other globetrotters
- MEETINGS with locals will be favoured
- PHOTO,VIDEO, BLOG recording of people, academies, techniques
-TECHNIQUES learnt will be shared and explained in the journey’s social medias spaces
- VERSATILITY of the itinerary map, opened to new places as longer and wider trip
- …but above all a journey in which everybody is invited to take part … either physically or virtually

WORLD IS OUR OYSTER

MY PLAN IN FEW WORDS

Deepest cultural experience, where

Not everybody has the chance to undertake first hand the experience I’m going to live, but I understand
how much martial arts can change people’s lifes and make you a better and healthy person. For this reason I
will help these to benefit indirectly of my chance.

It’s just because these activities have the common idea of enduring and help each other that this journey
is actionable
Each other sharing knowledge, little by little, person-to-person is the key of its achievement.

Pooling of knowledge, why

I aim my findings, teachings and acquired knowledge to be open source, in order to be
shared with as more people as possible using the journey’s relative Blog, Facebook Page, You Tube
Channel and Instagram
Organizing stages and seminars at the end of the first part of this journey, introducing and
showing its findings
Once completed the most of the European academies’ trip, I aim to extend my experience
further, travelling around the rest of the continents
The final act will be to publish a book, a collection of tips and findings to encourage sport travels
and a sporty life style.

Discovering and sharing, projects

To witness a full immersion in each country’s pure culture I will be hosted by local families for
few days, sharing their trainings, discovering their way of living, their typical diet and tips and
mindset, coming from these sports, which both have a steady backgroud and always have a big
impact in their athletes’ lifes.

Sharing: with my followers every day’s findings on my
social media (Facebook Page, Instagram, YouTube and
Blog)
Seminars and stages

Training: learning from different countries, different methods
and philosophies, cultures and dozens of expert professors.

Travelling: on the road with my car, following a
versatile itinerary, in solo or sharing part of the trip.

academies and hosts for each stay.

Background: previous travels abroad in different academies,
steady help from Christian Graugart, founder of the BJJ

COMMON THREAD

Why Europe?

train?

Training is learning, training is life-changing and I want to share this life-style.

My aim is learning different methods of teaching these complementar martial arts, in order
to share my knowledge and findings and preparing myself as a complete and open minded
professor, for my future academy.

Why do I want to

5

For this reasons I consider Europe a perfect start to be aknowledged and ready for the further journeys

Moreover, both martial arts are very settled and prominent in Europe,
expecially Judo which holds a steady high level in the most important competitions, such as Olymphics,
but also Brazilian JiuJitsu for whom Europe hosts and incredibly high number of competitions, still
increasing over time.

As an European citizen I aim to discover my continent, full of history and crossed by very different
cultures contry by country.
